Safety and Precautions
As with any portable computer device, precaution should be taken to avoid any damage or personal injury. The
following precautions are recommended during all phases when operating, using, handling or servicing the iDL300 device.
Safety and Precautions for Handling the Lithium polymer Battery and Charger
The iDL300 makes use of a sealed removable Battery-Pack that contains Lithium polymer battery cells. A safety hazard and risk of explosion may
possibly occur from incorrect installation, usage or misapplication.
Do Not Disassemble, alter, modify, or insert sharp objects into the battery pack.
Do Not Expose the battery pack to strong impact, bumps or shock:
Electrolyte leakage, ignition or rupture may result. If exposed to such conditions, stop using the battery pack immediately.
Do Not Use with any other products:
The iDL300 removable Battery-Pack was designed for use with the iDL300 product. If used with any other product, it may cause electrolyte
leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture.
Do Not Use the iDL300 with any other Battery pack than the one supplied or specified:
If other battery packs are used, it may result in heat generation, ignition or rupture.
Do Not Charge the battery pack in any other way than described in this manual:
If not charged as specified, electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result.
Never use a modified or damaged charger.
Keep batteries and Charger out of the reach of children.
Do Not Throw the battery pack into a fire or Expose it to extreme or excessive heat: (for example direct sunlight for extended periods)
Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result.
Do Not Short any contacts on the battery pack:
Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result. When transporting a spare battery, it is recommended that it be placed in a plastic bag so that
its contacts are protected and would not accidently short when brought in contact with any metal objects.
When the battery pack has become degraded, replace it with a new one:
If the amount of time the iDL300 can run by using a particular battery pack becomes dramatically shorter and repeated recharging does not
restore its performance, the battery pack should be replaced with a new one. Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result from continued
use of degraded batteries.
Never use a battery that has suffered abuse.
Storage:
If the battery will not be used for extended periods of time (e.g. a month or more), charge or discharge (by means of using it) the battery pack
until the remaining battery level becomes 40-50%. It is recommended that the battery is periodically recharged if long storage is required
without the electronics going into shutdown mode.
Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place with low humidity and well ventilated.
Recommended storage temperature is at <20 degrees Celsius. Do not store the battery outside of its allowable range: -20-60 degrees Celsius.
Do not expose the battery pack to water or allow it to become wet.
Charging:
When using a battery pack for the first time, ensure that the removable external batteries are charged. The initial charging cycle for both
batteries is approximately five (5) hours. Subsequent charging cycles via the iDL300 device will take up to a maximum of three hours, and via
the Charger up to a maximum of two and a half hours.
Use only the correct supplied 5.0V 1.0A Power Adaptor with the CHARGER to charge the battery pack
Use only the correct means as described in this manual to charge the battery pack:
The battery pack is designed to prevent overcharging of the battery. Using incorrect means to charge the battery could result in electrolyte
leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture.
